Tasting notes
The 2008 Perrieres has superb aromatics, not far stylistically from the 2010 with expressive minerality: limestone, smoke and a touch of flint. There is real definition and clarity here: quintessential Perrieres. The palate is very well-balanced with a light blackberry leaf and citrus peel on the entry. There is good weight and harmony here with fresh apricot, Clementine and lemon on the composed finish that suggests several years in the cellar would be repaid in greater complexity. Drink 2016-2025. Tasted December 2012.

Quite deep gold. Lighter on the nose than I would expect. Very restrained. Very tight. Almost too difficult to taste now, it’s all potential rather than actuality. Just two barrels. (JR)
